Confessions Part II

"Confessions Part II" is a song by American singer Usher from his fourth album Confessions. Written by Usher, Bryan-Michael Cox, and the song's producer Jermaine Dupri, its lyrics are about a man confessing to his woman about his impregnated mistress. This is a continuation of "Confessions Part I" which relates to a man's infidelity. Its personal content evoked rumors and early responses from the public even before its release, believing that Usher was asserting the truth; however, Dupri divulged that the story behind the album is about himself. "Confessions Part II" received mixed reviews from critics. It was released as the third single from the album, following the success of "Burn". The single reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, becoming the album's third consecutive number-one single in America. Elsewhere, "Confessions Part II" charted within the top 10 in Australia, Denmark, Ireland, Scotland, and the United Kingdom.
